Skill: Hacks – Tools & Equipment

Overview

My tools and equipment hacks journey demonstrates continuous learning, mistake identification, and iterative improvements in development environment optimization. This skill showcases my ability to research, experiment with, and refine development tools for enhanced productivity. Through this process, I learned to evaluate different development tools, troubleshoot configuration issues, document failed attempts and successful solutions, and optimize workflow efficiency. The progression includes identifying pain points, researching solutions, implementing tool configurations, and iteratively improving based on practical experience.

Evidence of Completion

Below are screenshots and documentation proving my learning journey with tools and equipment:

Initial Tool Discovery

Tool Research

(This screenshot shows where I learned how to setup my MacOS for my computer)

Configuration Attempts & Mistakes

Tool Mistakes

(This demonstrates how I had to force remove all of my previous commits and restart from fresh on August 24th due to many errors. Before entering this class I realized I had many other tools such as astro and node.js that caused all of my commits to fail and forced me to restart everything including my mermaid flowchart and blog)

Successful Implementation

Tool Success
